Melting Monday

A week or so ago, our world turned white. SInce then the temperatures have risen and the white stuff has been disappearing.

Äiti did some clearing, so that the catio is ready for winter. This work was inspected and she has been informed of improvements for next year.

Since the snow melted we have had rain, so Äiti has prevented 24hour catio access as there's a lot of mud. She does not want mud from Poo Corner being brought in to the house 8how fussy is that?). Stran-veli in particular is in the habit of running around triumphantly after a satisfying trip to Poo Corner. The rest of us like a quick run over the wet grass - especially the ninjas.

And yesterday morning there was a little more snow. It had melted by lunch time.

And, loyal readers, I hope you will join me in great horror at our meagre catio lights this year. What are these paltry offerings? Last year we had a beautiful curtain which was three times as big. Okay, the ninjas chewed it a bit, but it was magnificent. This is simply pathetic. Äiti has admitted she cannot find last year's lights (put somewhere 'safe'!), and she is too mean to buy better ones. This is intolerable - a King must have his winter facilities illuminated. Okay, we will have candles and revontulet, but they will not be nearly enough. Pah!

They **are** a little, well, thin on the ground, so to speak. Perhaps she could devote some serious effort to FINDING YOUR LIGHTS. I mean, c'mon: Are you KING or are you KING? Surely you can command your staff!

*I* have commanded MY staff that the subject of a "roommate" is closed, at least until next summer. The King needs to pace his castle in solitary splendor for at least the rest of the school year.

Now, your human should gather NEW lights and drape them artistically and immediatley to delinieate your Kingly abode...your Royal Residence. Tell her you insist upon it; that you are not wishing to be seen as a King without proper glamor and decorum surrounding him and his Kingdom.

I was found when I was just 6 weeks old - olin tosi pikku - alone in the fields of Muhos. I was taken in by some kind people and then found my new home. I soon became King Kitty Cat of Finland (North) and now invite you to share my adventures and stories. Tervetuloa!
